Anyway, I made a new recipe for beef stew for dinner tonight. It was so simple but so yummy! I had to share the recipe with you all! Oh, I'll also share the recipe for the home made bread that I made the other day...it makes 4 loaves, so we had it tonight with the beef stew...perfect with it!
Tupperware Bread (This is my friend, Erin's recipe...so good and pretty much fool proof!)3 1/2 c. warm water
3 pkgs. of yeast
6 Tablespoons sugar
6 Tablespoons melted butter
4 teaspoons salt
2 eggs, beaten
10 cups flour
TIP: If you don't have a Tupperware bowl, you can use a regular bowl and cover it with a dish towel. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
1. Using your large Tupperware bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add the sugar and melted butter. Stir in salt and beaten eggs. Add the 10 cups of flour last.
2. Stir until thoroughly mixed (the dough will be sticky). Snap on the bowl's cover and put in warm place until the seal pops on the lid.
3. Turn out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and put into greased loaf pans. Cover pans with a dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until done. Cool on racks. (I brush some melted butter over the tops when its warm, makes it shiny & pretty)
Oven Baked Beef Stew
4 TBS flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Season All
1 1/2 lb stew for beef, cut into 1 inch pieces (chuck roast works well)
2 TBS vegetable oil
2 cans condensed tomato soup
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
4 med. potatoes, peeled and diced
4 med. carrots, peeled and chopped
Heat oil in dutch oven. In small bowl, sift together flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and Season All. Coat pieces of meat in flour and add to hot oil. Brown meat on all sides. Add soup, water, onion and basil. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Remove from oven. Stir. Add carrots and potatoes. Replace lid and bake for another hour, until meat and veggies are tender.
Enjoy!
